Beginners Guide to Cartridge Refilling
Ismail Selman Kimyacioglu miscomputer@google.com We began in this business from 7 years ago. We used to refill inks manually,we thought that this the right way to reduce customer cost; but as soon as we noticed that %80 of the inks that we refilled manually were damaged and not well functioned, we began to search for other solutions. MIS has changed everything. We are now leaders in ink refilling in our area. This machine has changed our life, we are now confident that our result are more than satisfactory for our clients. By with the help of MIS PRO Deluxe, we are managing of refilling %99 of inks in the market with high end qualities. Tony Harb, Procom Thanks to MIS, we finally opened our inkjet and toner refill service in Malta. The MIS PRO-6 and PRO Deluxe ink cartridge refill machines are absolutely superb. It is very easy to use and our customers like to watch the machines in action while refilling their cartridges. Your training, advice and support were invaluable. We were very lucky to have worked with you since we were new to refilling and running a business. I also want to thank you for being so responsive and patient when answering our questions. It's great to have MIS as a business partner. Thanks, Antonio Saliba, Refill Planet

Customer comes to our shop and gives his cartridge for a refill.
As mentioned previously, we are entering the customer and cartridge data into our computer system.
So, we start our cleaning by pointing the steam gun through the print head..
..and applying the steam for around 10 seconds. Usually, this duration is good enough to proceed.

We also apply the steam to cartridge labels so that we can easily remove them.
With the help of a knife, we simply peel the label off to see the refill holes.
As a second stage of the cleaning step, we take the waste ink out of the cartridge. Here, in this stage, we have two separate alternatives. ALTERNATIVE 1
Using MIS ink refill machines as they have cartridge cleaning lines, too. To remove the waste ink, we fix our cartridge into the vacuum clip, which comes with all MIS ink refill machines.
Afterwards, we connect the clip into the cleaning line of our ink refill machine and start it. As the machine works, all the waste ink is taken out of the cartridge.
All MIS ink refill machines can easily remove the waste ink thanks to the superb vacuuming feature. As talking about the vacuuming feature, if the dried ink at the print head is not softened, then substantial vacuum of MIS refill machines can result in a physical damage at the print head. This is the reason why we have started our cleaning phase with a steam generator.

Another alternative for waste ink removal is use of a centrifuge machine. Thanks to the centrifugal force, all the ink is taken out completely. This machine is very useful when there is a need for cartridge refilling in bulk amounts.
In refilling, we use the original filling holes on the cartridges, which were used primarily in OEM factories such as HP or Lexmark. We insert the needle coming from the ink filling lines to the respective the refill holes in an inclined angle...
..and start our refill machine. As it starts to run, it first removes the air inside and make the cartridge ready for the refilling stage.

While our machine is removing the air inside the chamber, we are filling our ink to the syringe. Not all the cartridges, have the same ink volume in refilling. However, in our instructions website, you will find the correct ink volume required for each cartridge. For more information, please visit www.refillmanual.com
When the pressure inside the chamber reaches to 520 Torr minimum, we start the refilling process. To do that we simply press Touch'n Fill metal buttons. This initiates the ink transfer from the syringe to the cartridge sponge.
When we are done with the refilling, we take our cartridge out and start our tissue test. In this test, we touch the print head to the tissue several times. If the refilling is successful, you should see all the colors in the shape of the print head. In the photo on the left, you can see three colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) with the same shape of the print head.
And finally, we are putting a new cartridge label and finishing this step.

In sealing the print head, we put a drop of cleaning solution on the print head. To continue sealing, we have two different alternatives.
ALTERNATIVE 1
Fixing the cartridge into the Transport & Protection Clip is the first alternative. It is easy, safe, and practical. Using this clip protects the print head from ink contamination and drying. It also prevents electronic circuitry from the physical damages, too.
ALTERNATIVE 2
Sealing the print head with blue tape is the second alternative. Again, it protects the print head from ink drying and contamination.
Next step is to put the cartridges into plastic bags. Afterwards, we seal the bag opening with packing machine.
Before we give the cartridge back to the customer, we put them in our box.

And finally, we give the cartridge back to our customer and receive the cost of the service.
This business procedure has been developed by the following factors; 1. 10 year experience of our company in two different countries 2. The feedbacks, that we receive from our clients 3. Experience gained during the transportation of our products 4. Experience gained in working with global and multinational companies regarding to quality assurance and product presentation This business procedure is the peak point of the technology for print cartridge refilling in a professional manner. Up to now, we have seen the business procedure step by step. In the upcoming pages, we will see the entire equipment and supplies used in the procedure.

Centrifuge machine is another powerful solution for removing the waste ink. Thanks to spacious chamber, up to 51 cartridges can be cleaned at the same time. And therefore, it is very useful while refilling ink cartridges in bulk amounts.
5. Vacuum Clips
Vacuum clips are used as apparatuses to take the waste ink out of the cartridge during the cleaning the stage. A set of clips fitting to almost all cartridges comes with all MIS ink refill machines.
In refilling some cartridges, the upper cap should be removed to see the refill holes. And these new caps are used as a replacement when they are broken.
In refilling HP 6578, 1823, 51641, and 6625 cartridges, the plugs are pushed into the cartridge to access the refill holes. After refilling, these new plugs are placed as a replacement.
